Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Oh, you mean like getting your tie caught in the wheels of your Sovereign Shoprider on the way back from the polling station?

Fred I think we all know that with few exceptions most MP's of whatever party and whatever view, put their own self interests before the country's interest.

When are going to grow up George?

hilary, Ha! Ha! I've just looked that up, I didn't know what it was.

9% fall in GDP , lol pull the other one Hils it got bells on.

Who told you that Osbourne or Carney ???

I might as well predict a 9% increase as no one can reliably forecast anything 6 months in advance let alone the period your forecast is over which you conveniently failed to mention.

And you remoaners clutching at straws , you do realise there is no legal obligation on the government to do anything regarding the amendments being put forward even if there is a majority for any of them ?

65 days to go , we're leaving , get over it.

Is that right? doesn't sound very democratic.

Dil,

I thought that's what the IMF said in their November forecast in the event of a no deal.

As for legal obligation, doesn't the Nick Boles amendment to temporarily suspend standing orders allow sufficient time for Parliament to legally take control, during which Yvette Cooper's amendment for a 9 month Article 50 extension would be voted upon?

(Just Googled the IMF forecast, and it was 8%, not 9% - my bad)

Lol , you mean us leaving on the 29th after a majority vote to leave by the people , Parliament voting to trigger Article 50 and 84% of voters voting for a party fighting the last election on a leave ticket ?

Seems democratic to me Stan.

Nick Boles amendment explained

And you conveniently forgot the time period again Hils.

Have the IMF ever got anything right ?

Forecasting doom and gloom within 2 minutes of a leave vote being confirmed this time three years ago.

Says it all , you'd be bankrupt in months if you traded based on their forecasts.

Dill? how many more times..we ain't leaving so please plan to emigrate to a non European Country -):

Nick Boles amendment is to make it possible for Nick Boles to introduce a Bill to stop no deal Brexit. It requires a Bill as only primary legislation can stop it. However, May can ask the Queen to refuse Royal assent to it. The other nuclear solution is for May to prorogue parliament (end the session). All legislation in progress is then lost. Then a new session of parliament begins with a be Queen's speech.

Are you suggesting that I spun the headline for impact, Dil? Sacré bleu!!!

Btw, how are we doing on that £350m a week for the NHS?

They only get the £350m after we leave. It was also a promise made by some leave supporters. It wasn't a manifesto pledge and it wasn't a general election. It is unfortunate that people are gullible and didn't consider the lack of a mechanism for getting the money.

Nick Boles might have the support of a few but even the Labour front bench is against it as are Labour Brexiteers.

And it's a waste of time anyway as EU wouldn't agree an extension just because Parliament wants one.

We're leaving , au revoir , aufweidesen , adipose amigo , bye bye , good riddance.

Ah, but now those gullible people realise that the £350m was nothing more than a blatant lie, they'll probably be voting to remain in the 2nd referendum.

:o)

What 2nd referendum?

Haven't left yet Hils so ask me when they fail to deliver on it.

How did the IMF forecast for the two years following a leave vote pan out ?

Abbott could have probably come up with a better guess.
